THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
CHOSEN BY WATERSTONES AS ONE OF THEIR BEST CRIME & THRILLER BOOKS OF 2024
'As a comedian, Bob Mortimer spins a shaggy-dog story like nobody else, and this is a rollicking old-school yarn' The Guardian
‘Mortimer’s verbal specificity and off-kilter humour will keep his fans chuckling’ The Times
WARNING - this book includes: heavy crimes, car journeys, dreadfulness, large fruits, romance, planning applications, and a lot of pie.
Gary Thorn is struggling with a big decision. Should he stay in London, wallowing in the safety of his legal job in Peckham and eating pies with his next door neighbour, Grace and her dog Lassoo, or should he move to Brighton, where his girlfriend Emily is about to open The Hotel Avocado? Either way, he’d be letting someone down.
But sinister forces are gathering in a cloud of launderette scented-vape smoke, and the arrival of the mysterious Mr Sequence puts Gary in an even worse predicament: soon he might be dead.
All Gary wants is a happy life. But he also wants to be alive to enjoy it…

‘Characters are layered with carefully observed detail and a huge serving of hilarity’ Heat
Customer Reviews
Great fun follow up
Did not disappoint - this is a great fun book just like the first one. The only issue I found was the voice acting for anyone who isn’t Bob Mortimer - thought they were a bit ropey
G.O.A.TED
Best book ever! (Well done Bob!)
(Also as good as Long shoe and satsuma complex!)
Light, fun crime story
If you love Mortimer like I do, then you can’t go wrong with this lighthearted crime drama. Not as silly as usual Bob antics, but odd moments that let you know he definitely wrote it. Characters you become to know and feel for in a way. Easy listening. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks Bob 🩷
